The Southern Tennessee Amish Map
Ethridge, Tennessee, is where you will find the oldest and largest old-order Swartzentruber Amish Community in Tennessee! We have been all over the state of Tennessee to each Amish community, and every Amish visitor should have the Ethridge community on their list of Amish communities to see! Not only is Ethridge the oldest and largest community, they are the only community with a fully developed tourism support system to help visitors go into Amish country on a horse and buggy! Many ask if this is merely a tourist trap, and we say no! The Amish community is right off Highway 43, where you can stop and get a map to go out with your vehicle and visit the Amish yourselves! See the photos below of the Amish homes and signs of what they sell that you can see from your vehicle!
The Amish community is also surrounded by other shops featuring vendors who go out and find items to put in their stores. Visitors who love the Amish for their religious conservative downhome country living will love these antique stores for their museum-quality items. Ethridge is the town just north of Lawrenceburg. Lawrenceburg is known as the birthplace of Southern Gospel music! Still, to this day, you can see the James D. Vaughan Museum on the Lawrenceburg Square; here, you can see the equipment he used to cut records and make songbooks. The old piano and mic station are a testimony of the first radio station in Tennessee called WOAN, where Mr. Vaughan would play records from his published quartets. Lawrence County has a lot of places you can visit while you see the Amish community shown below!
Since you are on the Amish of Ethridge website, we already have pages devoted to points of interest and other activities that can enhance your vacation! You need a few days here to enjoy the Amish community and the other activities fully! Below are links to these pages where we feature our points of interest!

Area Woods and Watersports
We have many incredible rivers and lakes in Lawrence County. Visitors come from all over to participate in our great tubing and kayak adventures. There are three excellent places for fun on the water. Each place we feature opens around May and closes Labor Day weekend. The water temperatures are a bit cold before May and after August. Crockett Shoals Tubing Company is our pick for kids 10 and under, as the water is very shallow, and the tubes have a bottom, so you can't slide out into the water. If a child does fall out of the tube, it is only a foot deep in most places, so they just have to stand up. Upa Creek kayak rentals have tubes, canoes, and kayaks. They also offer different drop-off locations depending on how long you want to float. Upa Creek is beside a great restaurant called the Taco Shack if you want to eat after a long float. Double G Canoe Rental is for the person who wants a scenic long float with incredible scenery. Don’t let their name fool you; they have canoes and kayaks for rent. They can even facilitate wheelchairs and other needs for those with disabilities. At Double G, they can offer the longest float and the most unique way of putting the kayak in the water!
All these places and more are featured on our webpage devoted to woods and watersports. Please see our detailed guide for more information on which places best fit your needs for a day in the woods or out on the water!
